Calling all paws!
Hello neighbours,
first I want to say a big thanks to all of you who let me to take your dogs to practise my skills at the grooming course this months. It was a real pleasure to meet you and your furry friends :)
I am continuing my advanced course for another moth. I would like to extend my offer to people with breeds like schnauzer, yorkshire terrier, airedale terrier, pomeranian, scotty terrier, pure poodles, border collie, king charles cavalier, cocker spaniel etc. But also other breeds as cross poodles, shitzus/maltese are still needed.
Your dog will get professional full groom, that includes wash, dry, brush, de-sheding ( if needed), clip, ears check, anal glans checked and nails clipped....all for only a small donation of 20$. I usually pick up after 8am and drop off after 3pm. Working with a hands on supervision by master groomers, there is no way your dog will return with a bad cut :) !
If you are interested, please text me on 02108898902 to book your dog in
Thank you
Kind Regards
Jana
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
